StoryCorner

Get a short chapter of a story everyday in the language you are learning. It’s free! Pay only if you want to add new words to your learning list and practice them in the same context.

Learning new vocabulary in a foreign language is always grueling. Especially if it is just a list of words without an engaging context. The passion that drives almost everything we do at L-Pub is enabling learning (or information discovery) in a meaningful context.

We started StoryCorner as a promotion tool for our vocabulary trainer app vobot, which helps people learn vocabulary in the context of sample sentences. But we wanted to expand that one-sentence context a bit further and embed those sentences in little stories. That way, the sample sentences got their own context which made them feel less abstract.

Learn a little everyday!

Language learners who sign up for StoryCorner get one chapter of a mini-story sent to them everyday with WhatsApp. Each chapter has a featured word which is aimed to be just a little more difficult than the others. This word is highlighted in bold and, if the learner wants, can be practiced in that very same sentence in our vocabulary trainer app vobot.

Where do the stories come from?

All stories on StoryCorner are written by volunteers. Some are professional writers who are happy to contribute a story now and then, others are written by language learners and then corrected by a teacher or us before publication.

For all of the texts we receive, we always run a quick language level check. Based on a number of parameters, including vocabulary lists, we can quickly see if the text will be appropriate for beginning learners. We try to optimize the texts for learning levels A2-B1.

At L-Pub, we believe that by merging entertainment with education, learning can be made so much more fun – and effective!

About the “L”

L-Pub stands for “Learning Publications”, which encompasses not only the typical understanding of learning, but any action by readers to still their curiosity.

Our core product is the L-Book, a new standard in digital reading created by L-Pub. Based on our core competences in natural language processing and termbase structuring, we offer a range of products and services to content owners across all genres and sectors.

Creating a “termbase”

Even if you do not yet have a termbase (a database with reference content), you probably already have much of the content needed to create one. L-Pub can help you create a termbase using different tools and strategies. Learn more on the page Termbase services.
